A follow-up thought - this is where the lack of good grounding in social science lets the American political debate go astray. If someone mentions changing a tax rate for the rich, the right calls them a Marxist and a socialist. If someone else wants to redesign a domestic counterintelligence program, they are a Nazi and a fascist. The people involved don't know what the terms mean, so no one stands up and says hey, that connection doesn't hold up to scrutiny. It is stupid and wrong. But it sounds good as an insult so the mud starts to fly, from both partisan sides.
